This invention relates to neckties.

The object of the invention is to provide a non-wrinkling, non-stretchable four-inha-nd tie which is strong and durable and inexpensive to manufacture.

Another object of the invention is to provide a liner which will not twist, roll, wrinkle and needlessly pad out the tie.

Another object of the invention is to prolu vide a liner which is adhesively and partially fastened to the inside of the front wall of the tie.

Another object of the invention is to provide a liner which is partially fastened to the front wall of the tie and which will allow the free portion of the front wall and the free portion of the liner to stretch or contract in relation to each other. Other objects of the invention will appear 2* as the disclosure progresses. The drawings I are intended to merely indicate a possible embodiment of the invention. It is obvious that the actual needs of manufacture may necessitate certain mechanical changes. It is therefore not intended to limit the invention to the embodiment illustrated but rather to define such limits in the appended claims. For a more general understanding of the invention attention is called to the drawings. In these drawings:

Figure 1 is a lengthwise view of the outer face of the tie.

Figure 2 is an enlarged view of the liner.

Figure 3 is a modified form of the liner.

Figure e is a section on line liof Figure 1.

Figure is a section on line 55 of Fig ure 2 and Figure 6 is a section on line 6-6 of Figure 3.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, Figure 1 shows the tubular casing stretched out and broken away to indicate that it is longer than illustrated. Numeral 1 indicates the face or front wall of the tie, 2 the rear and 3 the usual seam. The casing is divided into two parts 4 and 5 separated by the restricted neck portion 6. When the tie is worn the restricted neck portion 6 is substantially inor near the center of the neck band, the

part 4 represents the outer hanging end and the} portion 5 represents the inner hanging en \Vithin the casing is the liner 7. The liner is somewhat narrower than the casing and is partially attached to the inside of the front face of the portion 4. The length of the liner in the part 5 of the casing is preferably unattached. The means for attaching the liner to the casing is as follows: At certain intervals short sections 8 of gum are applied to the liner and the liner with the gummed face against the inside of the front face of the casing pressed with a heated tool. This will cause the liner at the area of the gummed sections 8 to homogeneously unite with the casing. The spaces around the gummed sections are free and unattached to the casing. The ends 9 of the sections of the gum are preferably cut on a bias to match with the bias in which tie casings are usually out.

The purpose of gumming the liner to the casing at intervals and not throughout the entire area is to stiffen the casing and yet allow the liner where not united to the easing to stretch or contract in relation to each other. It has been found that if the entire area of the liner be gummed and united to the casing and the tie made up several times there will be blisters and permanent wrinkles formed which are almost impossible to eradicate by pressing. The blisters and wrinkles are formed by the separation of the gum from the casing when knotted due tothe inherent difference of the co-eihcient of expansion and contraction between the liner and casing The liner is usually made from a coarse material such as buckram. By uniting the liner to the casing only at given intervals such difficulties have been practically overcome as the area of the liner and casing which are separated from each other will be free to take up any stretching or contraction of the different materials. In other words the unattached portions of the casing and liner serve to take up and absorb the slack.

In Figure 8 is shown a modified form of the insert. The insert itself is the same as that shown in Figure 2 but, however, the p gummed sections are formed differently and i lation to each other.

difierently spaced but in the Whole illustrating the same idea. Numeral 1O designates the gumlned sections arranged in three rows l1, l2 and 13 and spaced in a staggered rel he ends 14 of the sections are cut on a bias similar to the sections 8.

From the foregoing description, it will be seen that I have provided a n0n-wrinkling, non-stretchable four-in-hand tie which is strong and durable and inexpensive to manufacture. The liner Will not twist, roll, wrinkle and needlessly pad out the tie.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. In a necktie of the class described, the combination of a tubular casing, of a liner therein; a series of gummed sections attached to said liner and arranged in three rows and staggered in relation to each other, and means including the said gummed sections for attaching the liner to the inside of the front Wall of the casing, the said liner and said front Wall of the casing being separated from each other at the area around the said gummed sections.

2. In a necktie of the class described, the combination of a tubular casing, of a liner therein, a series of gummed sections attached to the said liner and arranged in a row, and means including the said gummed sections for attaching the liner to the inside of the front Wall of the casing, the said liner and said front Wall of the casing being separated from each other at the area around the said gummed sections.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
